London is really bad for bag snatching. Never, ever leave your wallet, keys, phone or passport in your bag. Even when you’re holding the bag.

Don’t think for a moment that the theives aren’t watching you. Don’t think that you can just put your bag down while you look through a rack of clothes or leave it at your table while you order another drink from the bar. The theives are brazen, and as the article points out the millions of cameras that will watch it happen are not there to protect you.
